Most of the time they don't anymore. Let's say one goes off in my email. The virus attaches it to an email in MY address book, let's say DinoBoy's, and emails itself as if from DinoBoy. DinoBoy doesn't have a virus because the virus never went anywhere near his computer. He doesn't know anything about it. (Or she) I don't mess with anything that remotely resembles a virus.

I do that whenever anyone sends me an executable file, or anything that looks odd (especially since it's usually the people that I know don't understand computers who send executable powerpoint files, .exe animation files, etc.). So far, all legit, but I'm not willing to risk the integrity of my computer.
